Vikings Fall to Coe in Illinois College's Bill Merris Tournament

JACKSONVILLE, Ill. — All four teams participating in this year's Bill Merris Tournament hosted by Illinois College were participants in last year's Division III college playoff, meaning the competition was going to be stiff for the Vikings this weekend.  In their second game against the Coe College Kohawks, North Park's Men's Basketball Team lost 86-66 in a very tightly-officiated game, in which both teams got into the bonus early in each half.
